In response, Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch issued the following statement:

“We thank Governor Malloy for continuing to help us make smart investments in Bridgeport’s future. In his budget, he maintains funding for the Park City and further invests in our city’s rail capabilities, which helps make our city increasingly business friendly. He also cuts the sales tax, which benefits hardworking Bridgeport families. And, he’s modernizing Connecticut’s laws to help our small businesses compete with neighboring states. His guidance and leadership have been a major reason why Bridgeport is getting better every day.”
